Companies that peddle video subscription services know that if they want to keep subscribers they need to provide access via mobile devices. Netflix does it for the iPhone, but not for Android. To be fair to Netflix, they did announce back in August of last year they are working on an Android app, but no other details have been provided since then. That must have seemed like a golden opportunity for Hulu to give their new paid subscription service a bit of an edge by offering Hulu Plus not only on the iPhone, but soon on Android as well.

Hulu began offering a premium version of their service called Hulu Plus in November for $7.99 a month. Hulu Plus subscribers are able to access every episode of popular shows from ABC, Fox, NBC and other networks in 720p HD for an entire season. Hulu’s CEO, Jason Kilar, announced that the service would soon be available to select Android phones running Android 2.2 as part of Samsung’s keynote at CES 2011 on Thursday. A sneak peak of the Hulu Plus Android app was also provided during the presentation. Once details are finalized, Hulu will announce an official launch date of the Android app in addition to a complete list of Hulu Plus-enabled Android phones.

During the keynote, Hulu also announced that the service will now be available on Vizio Internet-connected HDTVs and will soon be available for Vizio Blu-ray players. Haier Internet-connected HDTVs and Blu-ray players are also expected to support Hulu Plus later this year.
